Getting Ready for Next Westport Arts Center Exhibit

The finishing touches were done today on the next exhibit at the Westport Arts Center, “Edward Burtynsky: Nature Speaks.” The exhibit of large-format color photographs by the world-renowned Canadian photographer opens with a 6 p.m. reception on Friday, Sept. 19 and runs through Nov. 1. Curator is Helen Klisser During (2nd r), WAC director of visual arts. “Profound photographs by Burtynsky reveal the stark reality of human industry on the land,” she said. “The monumental photographs of dramatic, seductive landscapes are a sobering testament to the complex relationship between industry and nature, which speaks loud and clear.” The exhibition is on loan courtesy of the Hall Collection, and has traveled from the Hall Art Foundation in Reading, Vt. where it was on view from November 2012 to December 2013.
